CALL TO WORSHIP
Liturgist: At
a time when rulers are shouting threats, a mighty chorus ever swelling,
People: Holy, holy
is the Lord, their idle boasts dispelling!
Liturgist: So
we come together in Christ's name, the spirit with us dwelling,
ALL: And
join the choirs of heaven and earth, our humble praises telling!
CHORAL FANFARE
*HYMN 8 Joyful,
Joyful, We Adore Thee
*INVOCATION
AND LORD'S PRAYER (unison)
O
God, whose majesty rules the heavens above and whose glory fills the earth
below, whose goodness no saint can approach and whose grace no sinner can
defeat, we come together to acknowledge your majesty and rejoice in your glory,
to affirm your goodness and claim your grace. Deliver us, dear Lord, as we bow
before you in prayer, from pride in our achievements and from guilt over our
transgressions, so that, in humble faith and with pure hearts, we might
worship you in truth
and serve you in love. We ask this in the name of him who taught us to call
upon you saying...
Our
Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy
will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
and
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into
temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power,
and the glory, forever. Amen.

Here we stand together, a family
you and I
A family lasts forever, on this
you can rely
Together we are special, God made
you and me
With Jesus as our guide, we'll
always be, a family.
A family, a family, we're all
part of God's family.
Can't you see? You and me, we are
family.
A family, a family, we're all
part of God's family.
Can't you see? You and me, we're
God's family.
A family is simple, it's love
that's always there.
It's people helping people and
showing that you care.
So I will stand beside you and
you'll be there for me.
Wherever two are gathered you can
see, God's family.
A family, a family, we're all
part of God's family.
Can't you see? You and me, we are
family.
A family, a family, we're all
part of God's family.
Can't you see? You and me, we're
God's family.
One and one is two. Two and two
makes four.
With God's help, we can always
do
much more, much more.
A family, a family, we're all
part of God's family.
Can't you see? You and me, we are
family.
A family, a family, we're all
part of God's family.
Can't you see? You and me, we're
God's family.
We're God's family. We are
family.
Children of the Heavenly Father
Caroline V. Sandell Berg, 1832-1903
tr. Ernst W. Olson, 1870 - 1958
Children of the heavenly Father
Safely in his bosom gather;
Nestling bird nor star in heaven
Such a refuge ne'er was given.
God his own doth tend and nourish,
In his holy courts they flourish.
From all evil things he spares them,
In his mighty arms he bears them.
Neither life nor death shall ever
From the Lord his children sever;
Unto them his grace he showeth,
And their sorrows all he knoweth.
Who Are You, Lord?
Errol T. Elliott
Who are you Lord, who will not rest until I rest in thee?
In seeking you my whole life through, I find eternity.
Who are you, Lord?
Are you the burning bush that Moses knew?
You turn my steps to those in need; a need to follow you.
Who are you, Lord?
Who are you Lord, that still, small voice, a call so strong.
My guiding light, the wrong made right; who are you, Lord?
Who are you, Lord, whose call is heard beyond all sound and sight?
Are you the shepherd of the sheep who watches both day and night?
Who are you, Lord, who will not rest until I rest in Thee?
In seeking you my whole life through, I find eternity. Who are
you, Lord?
Assurance
Fanny J. Crosby
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my savior am happy and blest,
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior, all the day long.
